For example, a red fuji apple contains 11.7g of sugar per 100g, compared to a Golden Delicious apple, which contains 10g per 100g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you&rsquo;re looking to choose an apple that is lower in sugar, choose a smaller green apple like a Golden Delicious or a Granny Smith instead of a larger red apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you&rsquo;ve found the answer you were looking for on this page; here&rsquo;s a quick rundown of the key points: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An average medium-sized Golden Delicious apple (weighing 169g) contains around 16.9g of sugar.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Because Golden Delicious Apples are green, they contain slightly less sugar than red apples, but they can be slightly sourer in flavor.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The sugar found in Golden Delicious apples is mainly fructose which has less harmful effects than processed sugar.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apples are high in nutrients and are still a healthy snack despite their relatively high sugar content. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-group has-base-2-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2>Related Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This page is part of a series of useful articles on the sugar content in apples and foods containing apples.
